Cocoyasi Village, East Blue.
"So you're Nami's sister! She never told me she had such a beautiful sister!" Luffy said cheerfully, like a bandit finding something quite attractive.
While the Navy had its ship anchored on Cocoyasi Beach, Captain Nezumi led a secret operation to steal the treasure accumulated by Nami over the years.
As the Marines kept the local population under control, Nezumi, accompanied by his subordinates, began to search Nami's house and its surroundings for gold. The streets were filled with sailors searching houses, confiscating goods, and instilling widespread fear in the community.
However, in the midst of this dishonest operation, the situation escalated when Nojiko, Nami's sister, vehemently protested against the injustice that was happening. Captain Nezumi, irritated by the interference, ordered them to shoot her as a form of punishment.
It was in this moment of chaos that Luffy, the fearless Captain of the Straw Hats, appeared out of nowhere, dodging the bullet aimed at Nojiko. His unexpected arrival brought an element of surprise to the scene, interrupting the operation planned by Nezumi.
While the sailors tried to process Luffy's presence, Nezumi saw his gold-stealing operation being threatened. The Straw Hat Pirates' Captain, with his relaxed expression and defiant attitude, was about to change the course of events, triggering an imminent confrontation between the pirates and the Navy on the peaceful Cocoyasi Island.

An intriguing silence permeated the environment, leaving everyone bewildered by the unexpected arrival. The unknown man, seemingly unharmed after being shot, was now engaged in a conversation with Nojiko, openly flirting as if the previous event were insignificant.
"Who are you?!" Captain Nezumi inquired, being the first to break the silence, expressing surprise at the man's appearance.
"Hm?! Can't you see I'm talking to this lady here? Don't bother me." Luffy responded with a displeased look, redirecting his attention back to Nojiko. Luffy's nonchalant response provoked Captain Nezumi's anger, who exploded in indignation at the absurdity of the situation.
Captain Nezumi, with his face contorted by surprise and anger, shouted at Luffy, "Tell me who you are and why you're interfering with the Navy's work! Men, get ready to shoot him!" Instantly, all available Marines aimed their guns at Luffy. Others, who were busy digging in the orange groves, abandoned their tools to grab their rifles stored nearby, preparing for the possible imminent conflict.
Luffy, in response, maintained his bold and relaxed smile, as if he were just engaging in casual conversation. Ignoring the evident pressure of the moment, he spoke, "Haha, I see you won't let me spend some time with this lovely woman, huh? So, let me introduce myself! I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will rule the seas, the one who doesn't care about the Navy, the World Government, celestial pigs, and those old guys known as the Five Elders and Yonkous!"
The echo of Luffy's words hung in the tense air as the imminent confrontation unfolded on Cocoyasi Island. The silence was broken only by the distant sound of waves breaking on the beach, providing an irregular soundtrack for the scene unfolding between the fearless pirate and the determined Navy.

"Captain Nezumi, did I hear correctly?"
"He really said that?"
"He didn't call the Celestial Dragons 'heavenly pigs,' did he?"
"Where did this madman come from?"
"I don't know what's more bizarre, his first statement or the second..."
The sailors began to murmur among themselves, astonished and perplexed, exchanging uncertain glances as they tried to process Luffy's bold words. Nezumi, Genzo, and Nojiko were also stunned, unable to hide the surprise stamped on their faces.
"Captain Nezumi, do you think we should shoot him?" asked one Marine, looking confused.
"Heavenly pigs, seriously?" muttered another sailor, shaking his head in disbelief.
Luffy, on the other hand, remained unchanged, observing everyone's reaction with a relaxed and confident expression, as if he were enjoying the confusion he had caused.
"You're a madman, eliminate him now!" Nezumi shouted, and everyone was ready to pull the trigger.
"Wait!" Luffy shouted and let go of Nojiko, who was still speechless with all these sudden events. Everyone stopped stunned for a moment, not expecting this man to shout at them as if he were their commander.
Nezumi was stunned before, but this reached an even higher peak, seeing that his men seemed to obey this stranger.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Nezumi exclaimed, irritated.
"Relax, Captain Rat, I'm just making sure this lady doesn't get hurt. We don't want trouble with a citizen getting hurt, right?" Luffy replied, maintaining a relaxed smile.
The sailors exchanged confused looks among themselves, while Nezumi tried to process the situation, his eyebrows furrowed with disbelief at Luffy's audacity.
Luffy walked forward and crossed his arms in front of the group facing him.
"What are you..."
"I'm not your opponent; you should look up!" Luffy announced, cutting off Nezumi's command at the last moment.
"What are you saying, do you think we'll fall for that, pirate?! Let's kill him!" said one of the sailors, returning to normalcy.
However, something incredible happened among them at that moment.
*BOOM!*
Before Nezumi could react or shoot at Luffy, a colossal rock plummeted from the sky, mercilessly crushing at least half a dozen sailors.
"!"
"WHAT HAPPENED?!"
"What is this?!"
"They were crushed, LIKE THIS?"
"What the hell was that!"
"Look to the sky!"
"An angel!"
"Did I die?"
"She's so beautiful!"
"It looks like she's lifting rocks with those strange claws!"
"She's like those tales where a winged cupid throws love stones!"
"What are you saying, they're arrows in those tales, not stones..."
"And these stones are too big!"
"They're increasing in size, they're not stones but giant rocks!"
"Ahhh, run!"
*BOOM!*
"She's trying to kill us!"
"I don't want to die twice!"
"Who said you're already dead? She's here to kill you once! RUN!"
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
The explosions continued, mercilessly crushing all the marines in the open area, while Nami hurled rocks with her Garuda claws, removing them from the island's coast as she flew. The surreal and chaotic scene transformed into destruction and death, with the apparent "avenging angel" leaving everyone bewildered, trying to make sense of the absurd situation.
"I'm so furious that I'll finish you all! First, you destroy my orange trees, then try to steal my treasure, and now Luffy flirts with my sister while I have to film him doing that?! I need to vent all my anger!" Nami shouted in the air, relentlessly throwing stones at the marines.
"Damn you, LUFFY!" She yelled, flapping her wings to descend towards the ground.
*Boom!*
"Nami? Hahaha. I thought you'd never come down from the sky; you scared all those marines. You should... Hm?!"
*Boom!*
Luffy barely had time to react when he took a punch from Nami, who emerged from the wreckage where she had landed. The impact echoed like thunder, leaving everyone stunned by the navigator's furious expression.
*CRACK!*
Luffy flew at high speed towards a nearby rock, which exploded into pieces with the devastating impact.
"..."
"..."
Nojiko and Genzo watched the scene in shock, as if witnessing a surreal nightmare.
"Ahhh. Poor thing!" Nojiko, next to Luffy, stood up from the chair and approached him with a pitying expression, ready to console him in the fictitious sadness he portrayed.
Nami, on the other hand, was stunned by Luffy's theatrical ability. Nojiko, embracing Luffy, seemed to offer genuine comfort, but the captain, with an unexpected move, lifted Nojiko in his arms, adding an even more unusual touch to the scene.
"AHHHH!!!" Nojiko gave a surprised scream when she felt her body being placed over Luffy's. Luffy's unexpected boldness caught her off guard as she nestled into his lap.
"Thank you, Nojiko. I didn't know Nami had such a good sister!" Luffy expressed his gratitude while holding Nojiko intimately above him.
Nojiko, still surprised, murmured, "You're so bold, Luffy. No wonder Nami seems to like you..."
"..."
"Only her?" Luffy smiled with his characteristic seductive grin, gazing at Nojiko in a captivating manner.
Nojiko, in turn, was torn between perplexity and a slight blush on her cheeks. Luffy's theatrical ability surprised her, and his seductive look made the situation even more unusual.
"..."
"I don't know... My sister might not like sharing her boyfriend..." She said, showing a flirtatious smile.
"..."
"But as you can see, it seems like she doesn't want me, however..." Luffy leaned closer to Nojiko's face.
"..."
"It gets really complicated for me; on one side, I have my sister's happiness, on the other, I have the man who saved my life like a prince charming, and now he's inviting me to be his princess? It's hard to decide like this..."
Nojiko, with her usual bold expression, now exhibited an intriguing mix of fascination and uncertainty. Her usually fearless eyes betrayed a glint of enchantment in the face of Luffy's casual seduction. As his words filled the space between them, she seemed captivated by the peculiar aura of the Straw Hat Pirates' captain.
"You..."
Luffy and Nojiko looked at Nami at this moment, as Nami seemed to have stayed quiet the whole time.
She looked at this shameless man and woman while her sister was still on the lap of her womanizing captain, seemingly enjoying that contact, openly flirting as if it were a room, while they pretended she wasn't there the whole time.
"STOP FLIRTING WITH EACH OTHER!" Nami's furious shout echoed through the house, and she conjured a new claw in the air, unleashing a destructive attack that shattered the table.
Luffy, as quick as ever, grabbing Nojiko by his side, jumped up, skillfully avoiding the impact of Nami's strike. Outside, debris from the explosion flew out of the house.
Meanwhile, the Straw Hat group appeared, led by Yamato, who followed them with his Haki.
"They seem to have finished here..." Kuina muttered, visibly stunned. Several bodies were scattered, crushed by stones outside the house, while more than half a dozen still breathed, although unconscious.
"LUFFY!" The worried cry echoed through the air as the group approached the tumultuous scene.
*BOOM!*
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"STAY STILL! AND LET GO OF MY SISTER!"
*BOOM!*
"HAHAHAHA, THAT WAS CLOSE, NAMI!"
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
The sound of explosions echoed through the area as the clash between Nami and Luffy unfolded. Luffy laughed joyfully, seeming to enjoy the situation, while Nami, visibly furious, continued to launch her claws forcefully. The group outside could hear the screams and explosions, becoming intrigued by the intensity of the fight and wondering if the enraged Nami was the same person they knew.
"What's happening in there?" Usopp asked, a little frightened by the noise and explosions.
"Nami-Sama looks so scary!" Shirahoshi cried, watching the explosions with wide eyes.
"We better see what's going on; there might be an enemy!" Zoro agreed, taking the first steps toward the house.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING? HOW CAN YOU WANT TO GO HOME IN FRONT OF US, WHEN YOU WALK BACK THE WAY YOU CAME FROM THE BEACH!" Kuina shouted indignantly at Zoro, who might even mistake the way to the house right in front of him.
"I just made a little mistake!" Zoro complained, as the group exchanged curious and concerned looks among themselves. Suspense hung in the air as everyone wondered what could be happening inside the house.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Let's go in." Yamato said, taking the first steps.
"Zoro! Just follow us!" Usopp warned.
"Alright, alright!" The swordsman grumbled.
